Is it correct to say that ethernet is a type of network topology?
Q. A topology where a single bus/line is shared by all the other hosts. Protocols such as CSMA/CD are used to have control over the topology. Other similar topologies are things like ring network where a token is needed. (correct me if im wrong)
Asked by Mk - Sun Nov 2 02:59:25 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Ethernet is not a topology. It is important to be careful and state what type of ethernet one is talking about. Traditional co-ax based etheret is a bus topology - you have a long wire with all the stations attached to it. Once we get into UTP Based ethernet we have to be careful. The use of a hub can lok like hub and spoke, or star topology, but functionally it is still a bus. When we replace the hub with a switch, we are into hub and spoke (or star) proper, as we have a device at the hub that controls the communication, but the L2 protocols in use are still ethernet. If we persist with the celeistial terminilogy, does that make a campus network (a number of switches interconnected) a galaxial topology? Sorry, I could not resist that… [cont.]

How can we share internet in bus topology without Routers?
Q. I am using a PC in my home and going to add two more computer for small home office purpose so is there any way I can share the internet via normal bus topology (connecting the computers via LAN cable using networks card itself) Also if can please brief out the procedure
Asked by Govindaarun - Thu Jan 8 08:40:31 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Well, to do that, the machine that is connected to the internet will need TWO lan cards. One for the local machines to connect into and one for the internet connection. (assumes the internet is broadband on a lan card at present.) You then setup ICS (internet connection sharing) on the "master" which is connected to the internet. You connect a small switch or hub to the second lan connection and both your other machines can connect to the switch. Trust me when I say a ROUTER is a better solution and cheaper! ICS will share the internet connection with the other machines, but it has to act as the "router" meaning resources on the main machine are used to send the internet to the other machines. Here is microsofts how to for you. This… [cont.]

Asked by ??? - Tue Oct 13 04:07:44 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. A star topology is designed with each node (file server, workstations, and peripherals) connected directly to a central network hub, switch, or concentrator Data on a star network passes through the hub, switch, or concentrator before continuing to its destination. The hub, switch, or concentrator manages and controls all functions of the network. It also acts as a repeater for the data flow. This configuration is common with twisted pair cable; however, it can also be used with coaxial cable or fiber optic cable. Advantages of a Star Topology Easy to install and wire. No disruptions to the network when connecting or removing devices. Easy to detect faults and to remove parts. Disadvantages of a Star Topology Requires more cable… [cont.]

I thought maybe "star" but does the router act as a switch and know what packets go where? or does it send the packet to everyone like a bus?

That is, it is a space where an ant can start walking along the surface, and end up back at its original starting point, facing the other way! (Try this.) It has other significance too, since it can in some way help "characterize" non-orientable surfaces, but that's sort of complicated. A nice experiment you can readily try is to take a strip of paper; tape it together to form a Mobius strip; now cut along its "center circle". What is the resulting shape? Steve

In the ring configuration, each computer is connected to the following one, and the last one to the first, and each computer can only communicate directly with the two adjacent computers. In the star topology, none of the computers are directly connected with others. Instead they are connected through a central point and the device at that central point is responsible for relaying information from computer to computer.
